Muguboka Restaurant

The 18 Best Korean Restaurants In SF - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"Ask us where to go for a relaxed Korean dinner, and the answer will be Muguboka. This place on Balboa and 5th Avenue in the Richmond is chill, quiet, and homey—basically, all the words you want to hear if a quick dinner alone or with a buddy is on the agenda, and you have an aversion to overly fussy. There’s always a table, a big screen TV that plays things like Wheel of Fortune on mute, and the staff is attentive and friendly. A constant stream of neighborhood regulars pack this place to fill up on comforting dishes. The tofu soup is perfectly velvety, with a balanced spicy-sour broth, and the kimchi pancake is full of flavor and not overly oily. And turn to the Korean BBQ section, where you’ll find a reasonably priced and well-charred galbi and a beautifully marinated bulgogi." - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez, patrick wong
